Getting To Know You
Our school is based on five principles: Self-Discovery, Excellence, Adventure, Service, and Joy. Reflect and share about your own experiences with these principles.
Self-Discovery: Self-discovery is the process of getting acquainted with one's own inner nature and understanding oneself more deeply. Share about a time when you gained a deeper insight about yourself.*
Excellence: Excellence is the process of developing one's capabilities to ever higher degrees of refinement. Share about your experience with facing something challenging and persevering as you attempted to expand your ability.*
Adventure: Adventure is the willingness to try new things, to step outside of one's comfort zone in order to discover something new. Share about a time when you tried something you had never done before or expanded beyond what you thought possible for yourself.*
Service: Servicefulness is a way of being that takes into account the needs of others, rather than only oneself, and uses one's own energy to give generously to others. Share about a time when you helped someone. Reflect on how you felt before, during, and afterward.*
Joy: Joy is the essence of human nature. It is present inside all of us, and we can learn to access it in both the easy and difficult moments of life. Share about an experience you have had in which you experienced joy. *
